The heavens opened yesterday with a summer storm flooding the Old City of Dubrovnik. It had been forecast and had been expected but when it finally came, it really came.

The thousands of tourists in the city tried to take shelter from the downpour and kept their fingers crossed that the clouds would break. The rain started in the early morning hours, accompanied with thunder, and finally stopped at around 2:00pm.

Thankfully the north wind started blowing overnight and the clouds have cleared, with the forecasters predicting that summer is back on track and this weekend will once again see temperatures in the low thirties.
